We are trying something new here at Just Get in the Car. It’s been so great checking out new places and meeting new people, we thought we’d give our readers the chance to learn more about them! First up is Bri Brant – a dynamic business owner and community member from Chaddsford, PA.
Tell our readers a little bit about yourself and what you do.
My name is Bri Brant – I’m a handbag designer / maker [Check out Bri’s craftsmanship at Arden + James]. Just by coincidence, our family loves to create meaningful community spaces so we are the owners of the Chadds Ford Barn Shops and Chadds Cafe. All separate businesses that happen to work very well together.
What is your favorite thing about Chaddsford, PA?
Chaddsford is a magical place that has always been true to itself – it’s people, history, landscape, it’s artists, it’s quirkiness…we are never trying to be something else.
How would you spend the perfect day in Chaddsford? Is there a hidden gem you want our readers to know about?
The Brandywine River Museum and Brandywine Conservancy surround the Barn Shops area. If you haven’t been- it’s what Chadds Ford is all about!
What is your favorite thing to grab at the Chadds Café + Store?
[A] Blueberry lemon scone and a vanilla latte.
From Kristin: The Blueberry lemon scone is to die for! You must try it, and all the yummy offerings at Chadds Café + Store as soon as you can! Afterward, head over to Longwood Gardens for a beautiful afternoon in nature.
Thank you to Bri Brant for humoring us with our questions. Don’t hesitate to plan your afternoon at the Chadds Ford Barn Shops, where you can check out all of the unique shops, particularly Arden + James.
